Why is burning wood is bad for the environment?

Burning wood is not necessarily bad for the environment. It can be bad, if it is not done with consideration for the environment, but if it is done properly, it can actually be beneficial. Harvesting wood can be bad for the environment, but it need not be. Done responsibly, it is part of good forest management. Burning wood badly puts ash, unwanted gasses, and creosote into the air, which are pollutants. This is what commonly happens, but it can be avoided. Burning wood in a stove with properly designed equipment and complete combustion emits only carbon dioxide and water vapor, with any ash being trapped. There are many designs of stoves that produce little in the way of pollutants. Incomplete combustion, in which the wood is gasified and charcoal is left behind, followed by complete combustion of the wood gasses, can be used for carbon sequestration, and actually puts only carbon dioxide into the atmosphere that originated there, with the sequestered carbon also coming from the atmosphere. This means that the operation of such a unit can have a negative carbon footprint. There is a link below to an article on wood gas generation, where the principles are explained. It has some pictures of wood gasifiers used to provide automotive fuel, among other things.
